Honoring Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, the rescue workers, and the residents 
 of New York, New York, for their valiant efforts in responding to the 
                           terrorist attack.

Whereas the World Trade Center in New York City was attacked on September 11, 
        2001, when two hijacked commercial airplanes crashed into the Center's 
        towers;
Whereas the city of New York, its private citizens and public servants, 
        exemplified by Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, must be commended for the 
        tireless and selfless rescue and recovery efforts;
Whereas Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's steadfast commitment to urging calm in the 
        city, uniting his fellow New Yorkers, and rallying their spirits has 
        given comfort to the entire Nation as we all attempt to cope with this 
        tragedy;
Whereas Mayor Rudolph Giuliani has demonstrated unwavering leadership and valor 
        in this time of crisis, acting quickly and decisively, directing the 
        city's response to the terrorist attack;
Whereas countless public servants, institutions, and private citizens, including 
        the New York City Fire Department, the New York City Police Department, 
        the Emergency Medical Service (EMS), and numerous city agencies, 
        hospitals and health care professionals, safety engineers, and 
        construction workers responded to this terrorist attack without 
        hesitation, risking and, in too many tragic instances, sacrificing their 
        lives, and worked diligently to rescue victims and to provide emergency 
        care to the injured;
Whereas this crisis has touched the heart of the nation, engendered 
        unprecedented acts of altruism and a remarkable outpouring of support 
        and coordination to assist the city of New York, epitomized by the 
        actions and leadership of President George W. Bush, Governor George E. 
        Pataki, the New York State Legislature, and the City's elected leaders; 
        and
Whereas Rudolph Giuliani, mayor of the city of New York, together with other 
        city leaders and public servants, have led New York City and the Nation 
        by example in this time of national tragedy: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) praises the people of New York for their great courage, 
        unbounded volunteerism, and enduring spirit in this time of 
        crisis;
            (2) recognizes Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's passionate 
        commitment to the people of New York City;
            (3) honors the emergency responders, within and beyond New 
        York, for their bravery and sacrifice in service to the Nation;
            (4) extends its heartfelt sympathies to the families of all 
        those lost in the tragedy;
            (5) appreciates Mayor Giuliani's tireless efforts to direct 
        the rescue efforts; and
            (6) reaffirms its support and commitment to all of the 
        Nation's law enforcement officers, firefighters, and emergency 
        medical technicians as they selflessly serve their communities.
                                 <all>
